[Titanium condylar abutment: the contribution of 3D computed tomography]. / Butées condyliennes en titane: apport du CT 3D.

ABSTRACT

Various techniques have been described in the treatment of recurrent TMJ dislocations amongst which, joint arresters form a prominent part. We describe a new type of bio-integrable joint stop, custom made with 3D-CT help, which alleviates the two main drawbacks of the technique lack of retention through insufficient extension, and secondary mobilization of the stop. Two cases are reported, amounting to four stops with satisfactory two years follow-up.
